UNSPSC 50404300: Kohlrabi

The type of vegetable known as kohlrabi

UNSPSC 50404300 Kohlrabi is a Class code covering the procurement of fresh kohlrabi and related brassica vegetables by state and local agencies. Recent state and local solicitations under this code emphasize institutional produce procurement for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and senior services, with purchasing offices prioritizing local and domestic sourcing, traceability documentation, and compliance with federal food safety standards including HACCP certification and Buy American requirements.

School districts across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Utah, and Missouri represent the primary issuing bodies for fresh produce solicitations, with repeated buyers including the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Northside Independent School District (San Antonio), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District, and multiple Georgia county school systems. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice and institutional food service operations also drive demand for bulk fresh produce. Representative recent opportunities include Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce delivery to 31 campuses (response deadline May 7, 2026, IFB), Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles (response deadline June 22, 2026, RFP), the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's Bid 26-34 for annual fresh produce supply to 60 schools (response deadline April 23, 2026, sealed bid), and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 serving 30 districts across Georgia via cooperative purchasing (response deadline March 4, 2026, RFP). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, Connecticut, Utah, and Missouri. Pricing is typically per-unit or per-case on an FOB-destination basis with all transportation costs included; contracts run twelve months with renewable one-year options, and evaluation weighted heavily on price (30–50 points), product quality, delivery reliability, and compliance with domestic-sourcing and food-safety requirements.
